Elizabeth Putnam / Sean Wirtz, skated an exhibition program, their spirals are just amazing and they are so fast and smooth, I hope that they continue to do well.

Anabelle Langlois / Patrice Archetto, have gotten very smooth and polished but I preferred Elizabeth Putnam / Sean Wirtz. They did two leaps of faith which is my mom's favorite move

Joannie Rochette fell twice but you could see if she get's consistent she could very well compete for world medals, I think if she has a good skate at national she may take the gold this year. I never understood what they meant about Jennifer Robinson being slow before but after seeing all the skaters I understood.

Jeffrey Buttle skated his long program and it was amazing, he fell on his first axel but did the second okay, amazing spins and positions but boy does he need a new costume. He got a standing ovation

Emanuel Sandhu skated to Ava Maria in a traditional ballet costume (Tights and Tunic). He never hit a bad line, every single position was beautiful and his control is amazing. If he could skate his competitive programs this way he would easily beat every top ranked skater in the world. I am just going to write the word gush for how much my mom and I enjoyed this program. He also got a standing ovation

Shae and Vic did an Arabian program that was great, complete with Shae crusher. Their costumes were a little over the top, but I could see that in a larger venue with show lights they would need this kind of impact

Elvis was a no show, he was sick apparently. A little speculation on my part tells me that he have a really hard time coming back. I think Fedor Andreev may get to skate at Skate Canada after all and Nicholas Young could possible get cup of china.

Lastly I think Liam Dorrity may take the title for cutest guy on the Canadian team away from Fedor

Assuming, of course, that if Elvis withdraws, he does it early enough for a replacement to be slotted in. Has SC named substitutes? I know subs were named for Worlds in 2002, which was a darn good thing given E's last-minute withdrawal from the trip to Japan.

Neither of those two pics does Liam or Fedor justice. If I was still a teenager girl I would probly be slavering on the floor as it is I am almost old enough to be their mothers so I quietly enjoyed the view.

I have said this before and will say it again

Someone need to tell Skate Canada that the skaters can apply their own makeup. Every year, the make-up artist goes overboard with the make up for the national team. He or She applies makeup to the MEN as well. I am assuming that guys will be guys and not ask for some. :D

What makes you think SC has a makeup artist? All the skaters I know do their own makeup. How else would you explain the huge differences between Buttle's and Sandhu's face jobs?

Of course Buttle and Sandhu are different but take a look at the guys that Mathman chose to show in his post.

Shae-Lynn does Victor's make-up....sometimes she actually does a pretty good job of it too.
